Fair Wear Foundation

Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) is an independent, non-profit organisation that works with brands, factories, trade unions, NGOs, and governments to provide better working conditions for garment workers around the world. Stanley/Stella has been a member of FWF since our company was founded, and, thanks to our achievements we've been awarded Leader status. Every year, our whole company is audited by FWF and the results are published in a detailed Brand Performance Check report. This report describes our efforts on social issues and provides the results of monitoring and remediation measures in each of our partner factories. Three of the main actions linked to our FWF membership are social audits and Corrective Action Plans (CAPs), an easily accessible complaints helpline for factory workers, and training for workers to improve awareness and knowledge about their rights.

Safe and healthy working conditions

No exploitation of child labour

A legally binding employment relationship

Reasonable hours of work

Freedom of association
